The Easter Bunny left this in my 8 year old daughter's basket last April, and she continues to use it at least once a week. I really cannot say enough about this simple, yet very creative and well crafted set. Everytime there is a birthday party, I ask her to make a card, which is not her favorite thing to do anymore, but now, she pulls out the stencils and makes beautiful cards that she is proud of. She has also used the stencils on poster board to liven up her school projects. I have purchased additional sets as birthday and Christmas gifts. Great job Klutz.
My granddaughter loved her Lettering in Crazy Kool Quirky Style (Klutz) for her 12th birthday. I also bought The Encyclopedia for Immuturity (Klutz) for my grandson's birthday. I have found the Klutz books to be well made, interesting, fun, informative and well received gifts.I'll purchase more for future gifts.
This book has five stencils (two different fonts, uppercase and lowercase, plus one for cool symbols - and each stencil has a different edge you can use to make nifty lines) and detailed explanations about how to use the stencils to make, well, awesome letters.Then, like most Klutz books, they go on to explain how you can do pretty much the same thing WITHOUT their supplies, going freehand. However, please be aware of the age range. It says 8+, and looking through it I doubt many children younger than that age are going to get much out of it. If nothing else, this book assumes they can already read well enough to understand the instructions with little to no help.
My 9 year old daughter loves this book. Lots of creative stencils as well as several ideas to do on your own. I love that the pages are perforated so you can take the stencils and use on any size paper.
I don't know your the one writing with the book now but I think it is really cool. I have made signs for my BFF and my BF. They really liked them.
